Super Scrappy

It turns out, with my husband in the hospital Thursday and Friday for some surgery***, I had some time to work on this little baby quilt full of crumb blocks I made throughout 2019.



Here's what you do while waiting for news about that husband -

Binding to sew on, cup of coffee, tablet streaming NCIS on Netflix, and phone at the ready for a text or video chat.

More cute cats to add to my cats on fabric collection!

These guys just make me smile!  And they make the perfect backing for this scrappy quilt.

And to celebrate a new color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for the month of April, here's the light blue block in Super Scrappy Baby!

Hand stitching the binding will be my slow stitching project for the weekend!

Linking up at SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday,
and Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

***And thank you, to everyone, for your kind thoughts for my hubby!  He is doing great, and even came home a day earlier than expected.  I'm so glad to have him home!***

  2. I'm so excited for you. That must be a vast relief, to have him doing well AND be home early! I hope he is soon back to the golfing, picnicking and walking you showed in your last post. :)
    The crumb block is so cute! I really really need to try those. What is the smallest width size crumb you used?

  3. GREAT news about your husband! Praying that the surgery came out as everyone expected/hoped for. Cute scrappy baby quilt. I'll work with strings, but haven't done a lot with crumbs.

  10. Oh, Diann, I had no idea about your husband. Of course, I'll pray for the both of you as I know it is just as hard on you. The uncertainty of a situation is always so stressful. I'm happy that you are together again.
    I love your little quilt with crumb blocks. I might have to "steal" this idea as I have a lot of crumb blocks made. Thanks for the inspiration. Stay strong. We are here for you. ;^)

  12. You have been in my thoughts all week. I knew about Mike's impending surgery from your comments on Cathy's blog posts about Bruce, but I shamefully neglected to send you a note. What a relief that he's home early and with a good prognosis so far. And congratulations to you for remaining calm enough to actually get some quilting done. You and Mike are now on my ever-lengthening list of people being sent positive vibes and lots of prayers.
